  • Water-Soluble Resins

    An Industrial Guide
    • 2nd Edition
    • Ernest W. Flick
    • English
    The second edition of this popular industrial guide contains descriptions of more than 1100 currently available water-soluble resins, supplied by 47 manufacturers or distributors of these products. Both natural and synthetic resins are described, including cellulose ethers; collagens, gelatins; natural gums; and synthetic resins, their dispersions, emulsions, and solutions. Only the most recent information has been included.

  • Industrial Synthetic Resins Handbook

    • 2nd Edition
    • Ernest W. Flick
    • English
    Short product descriptions of 3,000 resins and related products from 57 manufacturers.

  • The Effect of Temperature and Other Factors on Plastics

    • 1st Edition
    • Laurence W. McKeen + 1 more
    • English
    Most plastic products and parts are expected to perform in environments other than room temperature and standard humidity conditions. This databank serves as an evaluation of plastics as they are exposed to varying operating conditions at different temperatures. Over 600 uniform graphs for more than 40 generic families of plastics are contained in this publication. Properties are sorted at various temperatures (ranging from 56 to 260 degrees Celsius) and graphs are labeled in both inch-pound and SI units.

  • Polymer Synthesis

    Volume 1
    • 2nd Edition
    • Stanley R. Sandler + 1 more
    • English
    This revised and updated second edition of Polymer Syntheses, Volume I brings together useful preparative methods for polymers and resins by functional group type that are of interest to both academic and industrial researchers. Several new directions for polymerization procedures have been included and are organized by various methodologies. Tables of physical property data and preparations make this book a valuable addition to any research library or research group.

  • The Chemistry and Technology of Pectin

    • 1st Edition
    • Reginald H. Walter
    • English
    A fundamental understanding of polymers has evolved in recent years concurrent with advances in analytical instrumentation. The theories and methodologies developed for the galacturonan biopolymers (collectively called pectins) have seldom been discoursed comprehensively in the context of the new knowledge. This text explains the scientific and technical basis of many of the practices followed in processing and preparing foods fabricated with or containing pectin. The material is presented in a very readable fashion for those with limited technical training.

  • Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice

    Volume 2: Flotation of Gold, PGM and Oxide Minerals
    • 1st Edition
    • Srdjan M. Bulatovic
    • English
    Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice: Flotation of Gold, PGM and Oxide Minerals, Volume 2 focuses on the theory, practice, and chemistry of flotation of gold, platinum group minerals (PGMs), and the major oxide minerals, along with rare earths. It examines separation methods whose effectiveness is limited when using conventional treatment processes and considers commercial plant practices for most oxide minerals, such as pyrochlore-containin... ores, copper cobalt ores, zinc ores, tin ores, and tantalum/niobium ores. It discusses the geology and mineralogy of gold, PGMs, and oxide minerals, as well as reagent and flotation practices in beneficiation. The book also looks at the factors affecting the floatability of gold minerals and describes PGM-dominated deposits such as Morensky-type deposits, hydrothermal deposits, and placer deposits. In addition, case studies of flotation and beneficiation in countries such as Canada, Africa, Russia, Chile, and Saudi Arabia are presented. This book will be useful to researchers, university students, and professors, as well as mineral processors faced with the problem of beneficiation of difficult-to-treat ores.

  • Fundamentals of Welding Metallurgy

    • 1st Edition
    • H. Granjon
    • English
    It is possible to weld materials as diverse as stainless steels, zirconium, titanium and uranium, but it is crucial to understand the chemical reactions likely in the surrounding welding atmosphere. This book describes all the metallurgical phenomena involved in different welding processes, from the most standard to the most modern, such as electron beam welding or high energy laser welding.

  • Metallurgical Coatings and Materials Surface Modifications
